Books Ruin Blogging

At least for me.

I have been trying to hard to start blogging regularly but then I get into a book and nothing else matters. Except for Mason (because I have to say that). I recently discovered Jodi Picoult thanks to Katie, and she let me borrow a bunch of her books. I just read The Pact and

I try to stop, but I can't put the book down if I'm really into it. I actually stay up till like 3 am if I need to. No bueno.

I also borrowed "One for the Money" by Jackie Evancho. However I don't want to start until I get through all the other books on my reading list, because I know it is a long series and like to stay in order. I have seen the movie though.

Other immediate books on my list are "Revolutionary Road", "Atonement", "Water For Elephants", & "The Help".

Ok. Just noticed they are also all movies too. But I haven't seen any of them.

Have you seen any of these movies or read any of these books? If one is exceptionally lame or a bad movie let me know so I don't waste my time!

Too many books to read, so little time. Unless I run away and live in a hut and just read.

But then I would miss my son. And the Internet. And good food. And wine. Oh, and I suppose my husband. Ugh. Guess I'll just stay here.

How horrible.

- - - Tell me your thoughts please!!! - - - I will send you super good thoughts. And you can be my friend. Because let me tell ya...that is worth A LOT. ;)

I LOVE Jodi Picoult but I agree with Holly, her books wear me out. They are amazing, but I have to read something light in between her books. House Rules is one of my favorites by her and she has a new one out that, as soon as it's cheaper on my kindle, I'm downloading it. Haven't read a book by her in forever. The only one I didn't like and had to force myself to finish was Sing You Home (but a lot of people LOVED it).

I am on a Jodi Picoult kick right now too! I'm currently reading Nineteen Minutes. I just finished Plain Truth and Change of Heart. They were both really really good!I read Water for Elephants a little bit ago and loved it. I watched the movie after and liked it as well. Not as good as the book of course, but still worth watching. Happy reading!

I saw and read The Help... and LOVED both! (Of course I thought the book was better though.) I have seen Water for Elephants, and have the book, but haven't read it yet. I just don't have the motivation being that I already saw the movie, and there are other books that I want to read! I agree- not enough time for all the reading I want to do!

I've been trying to read 'Atonement' for years but I only get past chapter 2 and I suddenly don't have time to read or its so far inbween reads that I forget what happened. But one of these days I'll get to it!!! :)
